Coconut Skins Lyrics - 9 - Damien Rice

You can hold her hand 

And show her how you cry 

Explain to her your weakness 

So she understands 

And then roll over and die 

You can brave decisions 

Before you crumble up inside 

Spend your time asking 

Everyone else's permission 

Then run away and hide 

Or you can sit on chimneys 

Put some fire up your eyes 

No need to know 

What you're doing or waiting for 

But if anyone should ask

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Tell them I've been licking coconut skins 

And we've been hanging out 

Tell them God just dropped by 

To forgive our sins 

And relieve us our doubt 

Oh, you can hold her eggs 

But your basket has a hole 

Or you can lie between her legs 

And go looking for 

Tell her you're searching for her soul 

You can wait for ages 

Watch your compost turn to coal 

The time is contagious 

Everybody's getting old 

Photos 

So you can sit on chimneys 

Put some fire up your eyes 

No need to know 

What you're doing or looking for 

But if anyone should ask 

Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins 

And we've been hanging out 

Tell them God just dropped by 

To forgive our sins 

And relieve us our doubt
